Testing Is Key
Once you've started a new aquarium, the only way to keep it in perfect balance is with routine water testing. API gives you all the tools you need to create a nurturing environment for both fish and live plants. Their comprehensive Master Test Kits are tailored to freshwater, saltwater or reef environments, and individual tests for things like pH, ammonia or nitrites leave nothing up to chance.
Clearing the Water
API offers reliable three-step filtration for tanks of all sizes with their FILSTAR XP Canister filters and wide variety of filter media. These powerful filters constantly circulate the water, trapping organic waste and odors, removing harmful ammonia and contaminants, and helping good bacteria to thrive in the tank.

Feeding your aquarium inhabitants, whether they're tropical fish, turtles or newts, is something that can be tricky without the right food. API developed a special diet for every type of fish—one that's highly palatable, which leads to less waste in the tank. And that means less ammonia to cloud the water. For your turtle friends, premium floating pellets and stick treats provide multiple vitamins for a stronger, healthier shell.

Does Not Work For Internal Parasites
By Cait on Aug 14, 2018
I see that it works on hole in the head disease, but does no work to internal parasites or wasting away disease. Used this product correctly for weeks and saw no improvement in my fish's health. I'll stick to PraziPro for internal parasites.

Did not work for me
By Luke on Jun 15, 2018
This product did not work for me, but I feel like this a is a tough product to review. I was almost certain my fish had a tape worm or some sort of internal parasite and after following treatment instructions on package my fish is doing no better (actually seems to be worse). But that's not to say my assumption was right so I could have been treating for something that was not the problem. Maybe in the future I can try this product again if more issues arise and see if it will help then.

Delivered fast!
By DPete on May 6, 2018
I ordered API General Cure because my Boesemani Rainbow developed hole in the head. I couldn't find it in any of my local pet stores and was worried about ordering online due to time constraints. I was promised delivery by Wednesday which seemed reasonable to me. As it turned out, I got it a day earlier than the promise date which really made me happy. My Boesemani boy is better and I am very happy for that.

The first thing I should have purchased !
By Tanya on Mar 24, 2018
First of all I paid $18 at the local store . After unsuccessful treatment with blue ink for ick I worried if this is the right medicine, I was afraid to harm my discus even further . But!!!! It worked!!! I kept my sick fish in 5 gallon tank to reduce wasting of the product in 48 hours fish was ready to be back to 55 gallon tank ! I am attaching pictures before and after and it is hard to believe this is the same fish!!! Next time will buy from Chewy to safe money !!!

Doesn't Work
By Dean on May 24, 2018
I've been using this for two weeks now, trying to get rid of a parasite , with no success. Just like the other two API products that I have been using for the parasite for about two months.
